I have been playing around with the new mobile siphon units (insert its not about the money its about sending a message meme here).

I have come across something that can be used to exploit the new unit. Say I'm a big massive null bear alliance and I have many moons that provided me a steady income. I can't guard all these moons from Siphon units so instead I will simply set up worthless reactions on my prized moons. Since the Siphon unit steals from the last part in the chain my precious high value moon materials are safe and instead I can sacrifice some low value reaction.

I propose creating a siphon unit that only steals moon material to insure moon owners don't simply set up a reaction to guard their high value mining ops.

Please delete this and send me a PM if this is not already happening all across New Eden because I know one group of individuals is already exploiting this making siphons currently pointless if this becomes standard.

Apart from that Siphon units are great can't wait for large ones as all peeps are doing now is dropping 3 small ones to compensate.

I would also like to see a new ship blockade runner class that can not be targeted by POS guns to help boost this new career as while using small siphons it involves a lot of warping off grid as of current due to pos guns.

Bump looking for some dev feed back is this going to get fixed?
